Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker Combine Tournament Leader Boards

Poker News - November 4th, 2009 - Written by Glen

Both Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet poker, two USA online poker rooms operating through the CEREUS poker network, have combined their tournament leader boards to offer players a $1,000,000 dollar prizepool. He or she who takes down the most tournament victories, thus earning their position on the leader board, will receive a prize of varying denominations according to their place on the leader board.

The yearly headboard is eight weeks until over, running the competition down to the wire. The top ten finishers will be entitled to a portion of the $50,000 dollar prize pool, giving first place $10,000, second place $6,500, and third place $5,000 dollars, with the rest trickling down to the runner-ups. Additionally, each player in the top 100 will be invited to a $50,000 dollar freeroll tournament.

Multi-table tournaments as well as Sit and Go tournaments are included on the leader boards, which range from weekly, monthly, to yearly. Yearly leader boards are only available for the multi-table tournaments, and they also carry the largest prize pool available from any of the leader board rankings.

The competition may be fierce, as the two sites have teamed up, but even a new comer can still manage, provided they have the proper bankroll and determination, to catch up. Both UltimateBet and Absolute Poker offer new players incredible deposit bonuses, with UltimateBet offering a 111% match to $1,100 dollars, while Absolute Poker will match players 150% of the way to $500 dollars. Both of these poker sites are the only online poker rooms that support Mac computers as well, allowing these powerful systems a chance to play online poker without a hassle. As if this weren't enough, poker brat Phil Hellmuth is regularly playing the tournaments and cash games found through these sites, allowing players to rub elbows with one of the most commonly spoken names in the poker industry.
